Ive got child 12 and half years old she wants to be with me.

Customer Question

I've got child 12 and half years old she wants to be with me. her father does make living from her and does not give up easy. I told her not to let him now she wants to live with me at these stage. So how I can proceed quick and to be as safe as possible child

Well, judge give to him full custody though she had not any proof that he’s father, or hi's capable of being father, so i was against categorically child being near him not alone live with him. they ask me to provide status, report from doctor, they did not let me even have contact, despite the fact that I provided GP report my blood result that i am perfectly well mentally and physically. She just wanted me to provide her with something that’s wrong with me. I tried to hire independent social worker, she did not allow that. I wasted money and time. Now, child is big enough and could tell through what hell she’s gone, however I wouldn't like to put child in that position. This is how that judge though of child welfare and safety to live with drunken father and on benefits. I wouldn’t like to go deeper; all I want at the moment is my child and she’s old enough now to decide with whom to be.

N.B. he had a child with previous girfriend he did not want to know about that child just because maintenace, so he never put his name down that he is the father, otherwise had to pay £50 a month for that child !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

court proceeding did take place from July 2004 to Jun 2005 then I went to court of justice they said judge does not lies suppose, but as i had no status i was just wasting money and time, and so forth, in 200, for contact, 2008 again, I event went on line on 2010 and now is different I can go through court from my country if necessary. Everything is pure lie, Thats way i said I donot want to go back to waste my time, not know, again simply child is old enough to decide with who wants to live

HiIt is not that straightforward as the court looks at a number of different issues.however just for clarity will you be remaining in the UK with the child and will you be able to find suitable accommodation?Clare

HiWithout knowing what the original problem is - why the child was placed with your ex - I cannot assess how this will effect a fresh application - or even if it will.If I cannot assess that I cannot give you a meaningful reply - just a vague generalisationOn average a contested application can take between three and nine months depending on whether or not there are serious Safe guarding issues involvedWhilst at 12 nearly 13 the wishes of the child will be seen as being of great importance if there are serious safe guarding issues involved the court are still not likely to follow themPlease ask if you would like further detailsClare
